Apply bacon to other languages and compilation backends ? #65

Open Canop opened 2 years ago

Canop commented 2 years ago

Some parts of bacon were designed for Rust and are tied to cargo:

default bacon.toml file
compiler output parsing
test output parsing
documentation
the use of TOML (which is just totally unknown outside the Rust ecosystem)

That's not much. Bacon could be used for other build chains.

But as I don't currently have a personal need, I'll progress there only if there's some interest. Comment if you're interested.

Python is also adopting TOML these days.

so for basic functionality, i think it'd be best to basically have modular, replaceable parsing strategies for different compilers/tools, perhaps even formatters, selectable per job in the TOML file?. personally i'd have a usecase for python's mypy, black, and unittest/pytest, as well as haskell's GHC, so i could get started on those after factoring out the rust-specific logic

As a note, I think you could add support for Ninja and get out-of-the-box support for the vast majority of C and C++ projects.
